The Chauncey Bailey Journalist of Color Investigative Reporting Fellowship provides assistance to journalists to attend a Data Journalism Bootcamp, the NICAR Conference, the IRE Conference and more. The yearlong program is intended to prepare and support a journalist of color for a solid career in investigative reporting. The program also provides an opportunity for the fellow's news outlets to benefit from the fellow's investigative skill-building. Applicants must be U.S. journalists of color who want to improve their investigative skills. Applicants should have at least three years of post-college work experience. Applicants should be currently working with a supportive news organization or working as an independent journalist. Applicants who can propose a well-developed project which would benefit from the training and mentoring the fellow would receive. Students are not eligible. The applicant's LinkedIn page or link to their resume is required. Journalists must submit two clips of their investigative or journalistic work. A letter of support from supervisor or management stating the newsroom or management will allow the fellow time to work on the project and time to attend all required IRE trainings included in the fellowship is required. The letter should also serve as a recommendation letter. For independent journalists, a letter of recommendation is required. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
